That leaves 'em stumped, confused, speechless, nonplussed, and destabilized.

From all the work I've done with my kid's band, I've learned about the value of the "elevator pitch." What could you say to promote yourself or pique curiosity or make a decisive point or indelible (preferably favorable) impression - in the time it takes for the average elevator ride.

I loved mccain to one teabagger lout at the meeting, after blah-blah-blah'ing a bunch of meaningless drivel that they just totally reject - about everyone being welcome to their own opinion and how all are welcome here at this meeting "...and occasionally I get a jerk like you here!" Well, john, be proud! YOU BUILT THIS. You broke it AND you own it. It's all yours! Chickens, meet roost! You and yours stirred up this shitstorm. So don't act so surprised or indignant when it splatters all over your expensive suit.
